Ay?

When you submit to directories that require a link, they often allow you to specify the exact URL their link will be placed. Simply create a random page that doesn't have to be linked to by anything and place all the reciprocal links you want there, hence the term link farm.

TOS sedo.

Hi, I have read it loads of times and These are the terms i dont understand:

"Domain owner may not re-direct traffic to their parked domain name. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, traffic redirected from other domain names, traffic originating from advertising and purchased traffic such as pop-under or exit traffic. Each domain name must be parked separately. "

"Domain owner may not generate traffic to their domain name(s) or clicks on advertising links by any of the following methods: listings on newsgroups or discussion boards (with the exception of "domain for sale" postings), bulk emailing, ICQ postings, or chat room/IRC postings, iframes, zero pixel frames, hitbots, clickbots, spiders, CGI scripts, java-scripts, or any other similar method."

Does this mean that directories are not allowed?

Advertising links as written in the above policy-doesnt that rule out pretty much everything in terms of advertising-including any directorie?
